Bengals Name Joe Flacco Starting QB Over Jake Browning

In a significant shift for the Cincinnati Bengals’ offense, veteran quarterback Joe Flacco has been named the starter for the upcoming Week 6 game against the Green Bay Packers. Coach Zac Taylor confirmed the decision Wednesday, highlighting the urgency to improve the team’s 2-3 record. Flacco was acquired via trade from the Cleveland Browns shortly before this announcement. The move signals a lack of confidence in Jake Browning, who struggled to ignite the offense after stepping in for the injured Joe Burrow. Flacco, with his nearly two decades of NFL experience, is tasked with stabilizing the team and keeping playoff hopes alive.
